Bangkok--24 Feb--Spark Communications
Emirates is set to add a new European country to its ever expanding route network when the Dubai-based international airline launches non-stop, daily flights between Thailand, Dubai and Copenhagen in Denmark on 1st August.
Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital city which attracts 1.3 million tourists a year, will become the Emirates’ 112th international destination and the 27th destination in Europe.
“Copenhagen is an important hub for the whole of Scandinavia and the launch of our non-stop service will open up a new market for Emirates. It will also offer Denmark’s businesses with easy connections to previously untapped markets,” said His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline & Group. “Dubai and Copenhagen both have a strong maritime and trading tradition and Emirates is looking forward to adding this dynamic city to our European network and also welcoming Denmark as the 67th country that we fly to from Dubai.”
Starting 1st August 2011, EK 419 will leave Bangkok each day at 0240hrs, arriving in Dubai at 0545hrs. Passengers can connect to the EK 151 which leaves Dubai each day at 0830hrs and arrives in Copenhagen at 1310hrs. From Copenhagen, EK 152 departs at 1455hrs, arriving in Dubai at 2315hrs. Passengers can then take the EK 384 at 0315hrs, arriving in Bangkok at 1225 hrs.
Emirates will be operating an Airbus A330-200 on the Copenhagen route in a three-class configuration. On board, passengers can enjoy the delicacies from the exclusive menu served to them by Emirates’ cabin crew from over 120 nations.
Passengers on all Emirates’ flights also have the added bonus of extra baggage allowance with 30 kilogrammes for those travelling in Economy, 40 kilogrammes for Business and 50 kilogrammes for First Class.
Copenhagen, with a population 1.2 million people in the metropolitan area, has a compact city centre which has developed into a major regional centre of culture, business, media and science.
Copenhagen is the third new route announced by Emirates for 2011, following Basra on 2nd February and Geneva on 1st June.
